E-mail address: Blondelyuda@yandex.ru

Details: It is typical scam, sad story about life, falls in love quickly and wants to visit, and get married. Asks for $450 for visa. A picture with every email. Some look real, some proffesional. The emails kind of slowed down when i mentioned that i had done my own research into prices of visas and airfare. I almost sent money, but wasn't going to until i had more research it, and the fact that i actually never net the person. I am currently still in contact with this person to see how far they will go. I am still getting emails even though i said to her that i have read up on scamming. She just keeps proclaiming her 
love and saying how we should be together. If you ask her questions she will not answer, yet she tells you to ask anything. About the third letter i questioned her on hockey for about two paragraphs and that was all i sent as an email. Her response was that she was going to the visa agency in the morning to see what it would take to get her. I do not have any emails as i always erase them right after but i will collect some more if it contues and send them to you.
